Unfortunately, at the moment, I do not have any photographs of rural life and landscape which were actually taken within the Ballymoney district. I hope to put some up later.

Those of you not familiar with Irish rural life in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, can get a flavour of it from the many books of photographs of rural life in Ulster which have been published in the last ten to fifteen years. Particularly useful amongst these are the books by:

Jonathan Bell on People and the Land (Friars Bush Press, Belfast 1992).

Jonathan Bell & Mervyn Watson on Farming in Ulster (Friar's Bush Press, Belfast, 1988).

Peter Collins on The Making of Irish Linen (Friar's Bush Press, Belfast, 1994).
